mobile alarm system

Introducing the new Sargent STINGER 310 series modular alarm system.

Based on new technology and a two year design process, the Stinger 310 incorporates ideas and
feedback from users and experts throughout the caravan and security industries.

Designed to be modular, the system can be expanded by a forthcoming range of wired and wireless
accessories.

To ensure your STINGER 310 system is operated correctly, please read all sections of these
instructions before attempting to use the alarm. If you are unsure of any content, please contact your
supplier in the first instance or the manufacturer direct.

Each STINGER 310 is supplied with two key fob style radio controllers, which are used to
operate the alarm system. Each key fob has four buttons which can be used as follows;

LED Torch button

Press and hold the button to use the torch for night time convenience

Arm / Disarm button

Press and release the button to arm the alarm (one beep)
Press and release the button to disarm the alarm (two short beeps)
To arm the alarm without the PIR movement sensor (if you leave pets inside etc) press and
hold the arm button and release after you hear one beep followed by two beeps

The STINGER 310 comes complete with a 120° Passive Infra Red (PIR) internal movement sensor
that detects body movement within the vehicle. With the system disarmed a green LED within the PIR
will indicate movement detection.

Operation-the PIR internal movement sensor

If you are leaving pets within the vehicle the system should be armed without
the PIR sensor active (see key fob arm/disarm section) to prevent your pet
from triggering the alarm.

Please be aware that extremes of temperature can affect the operation of the
PIR. With temperatures above 30 deg C the PIR’s ability to detect a human
body is reduced, and therefore the sensitivity can be adjusted to improve
detection. With temperatures below zero the PIR’s sensitivity will increase,
and therefore the sensitivity can be reduced to eliminate false triggering.

Please ensure roof light blinds are closed if sunlight could shine directly onto
the PIR. If heating vents are located near the PIR please ensure these are
closed to prevent cold draughts affecting the PIR.

The STINGER 310 incorporates a new electronic tilt and motion sensor with automatic calibration
and easy sensitivity adjustment from the key fob. This feature provides excellent tilt detection with no
moving parts.

Operation-the tilt sensor

The tilt sensor works automatically and does not need adjustment for normal
use even if you park on a steep incline. The sensitivity of the sensor can be
adjusted as described in the key fob programming section.

Operation -awning light

When the STINGER 310 alarm system is armed or disarmed the awning light will be activated for a
period of one minute to provide illumination whilst entering or exiting the caravan. The awning light
can be turned off during this period by pressing the awning light button on the key fob if required.
(note: awning light control is an optional feature not present in all caravan models)

The awning light can be turned on or off at any time by pressing and releasing the awning light button.

Operation -marker / tail lights

When the STINGER 310 alarm system is armed or disarmed the marker / tail lights will flash to
indicate the armed or disarmed state of the alarm.

One flash indicates armed and two flashes indicates disarmed. These flashes match the arm / disarm
beeps described earlier.

When the alarm is triggered the marker / tail lights will flash for 2 minutes.

(note: marker / tail light control is an optional feature not present in all caravan models, and will only
operate when a leisure battery is fitted)
